Declaring the 'fossil fuel age has failed,” the UN secretary general called for phasing out oil and gas. World leaders don’t seem ready to rally behind that.
-- As world leaders gathered at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City this week, everyone seemed to agree on one thing: Climate change is among the biggest problems facing the planet. US President Joe Biden walked through a laundry list of climate calamities in his UN speech on Tuesday, and Colombian President Gustavo Petro said climate change “has shown its teeth like never before.
Tuesday’s bluntest message came from Guterres, who opened the UNGA proceedings by saying that current climate action is “falling abysmally short.” Guterres specifically zeroed in on the obligation high-emitting countries have to address a crisis they helped create. Money is sure to be another source of tension at COP28. Multiple UNGA speakers noted that wealthy countries are not providing enough aid to help developing countries cope with climate disasters, adapt to warming that’s already locked in and decarbonize their economies.
